Notes About Existing Stations...

Fenelton (BR&P) - Moved in 1956 about one-third mile from original location.

Harmony (B&O) - Moved and attached to another building.

Mars (B&O) - The Mars railroad station was relocated in August of 1999. It was moved down the line across from the B&O caboose. Over the next four years the station received a new coat of paint. Just recently ago the society received a 1921 Plymouth diesel and a small platform car. The society also constructed a replica of a small railroad shed.
